>>

>>
>>
>>
>> “No, no, no.” She felt Erin’s neck, her highly practiced fingers directly

>>
>> ~was that?~

>>
>>
>> “MEDIC! I HAVE A PULSE!”

>>
>> (Reply Kruze)

>>
>> “NEVER MIND HER, WHAT ABOUT US?” Again, Ailynn ignored her, if she was

>>
>>
>>
>> “Weak pulse, intubate and get her breathing. You know what to do. Trauma

>>
>> =/\=I will, Merek out,=/\= she said closing the channel.

>>
>>
>> (Reply Kruze)
>>
>>
>>
>> She longed to go with them, but that wasn’t her job, not anymore,

>>
>>
>>
>> “Kiera, Transport now.” She half snapped over the comm.

>>
>>

>>
>>

>>
>>
>>
>> “Bracken to Captain Williams”

>>
>>

>>
>>
>> “Holodeck secure, request security backup to secure entrance to the room.
>> Get these fracking doors open.”
>>
>>
>>
>> She was tired, and spent. The adrenaline that had been keeping her going
